“In war our main objective is the opponent’s heart or soul, our main weapon of offense against this objective is the strength of our own souls, and to launch such an attack, we have to keep terror away from our own hearts… Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end itself.

The argument for jihad advanced in this book has a Foreword by Muhammad Zia ul-Haq, the late President of Pakistan and Army Chief of Staff. The Preface is by by Allah Bukhsh K. Brohi, the late Advocate-General of Pakistan. Their respective endorsements of the book established Malik's views on jihad as national policy and gave his interpretation official state sanction.
